WTPS (1240 kHz) is a classic hip hop formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Petersburg, Virginia, serving Metro Petersburg.[2] WTPS is owned and operated by Urban One. The station's studios and offices are located just north of Richmond proper on Emerywood Parkway[3] in Petersburg.[4]
The station has broadcast the sports programming of WXGI Richmond since Urban One's purchase of that station on May 1, 2017, in order to give WXGI a metro Richmond FM signal.[5]
On April 19, 2021, WTPS changed their format from sports to classic hip hop, branded as "The Box".[6]
